From grinding noise sounds like hard drive blew , as its nearly the only moving part to make such a sound ,
You can google make and model find out what type of hard drive ide or sata , both will be 2.5 inch
Look on adverts for second hand one depending on size you may get one from 20 euro up ,
YouTube time and patience will show you how to remove and install new one
A lot cheaper than new PCs ,
Although I'm concerned about sparks I've worked with computers for years never heard of sparks come from PC
Best of luck ,
If you do go the route of looking for a PCs send me a pm I'll point you in right direction
